"There is an assumption that family planning leads to less infant mortality, and [that a] lower rate of infant mortality will lead toward the evolution of small family. The present paper, based on the data collected from 472 eligible couples from a suburban area of West Bengal, does not reveal any such strong relation between family planning and infant mortality. The data have also been examined in the perspective of familial economic status and formal educational standard of the mothers concerned."

"This paper is intended to examine two propositions with regard to the educational characteristics of migrants to cities [in India]: Firstly, migration to urban areas is highly selective of educated persons. Secondly, most educated female migrants are more likely to be dependents of male migrants than workers at the place of destination. It is suggested that these two propositions hold differently in different cultural regions of India." Data are from the 1971 census.

Factors affecting the sex ratio are examined using data for 1,169,489 births occurring in rural and urban districts of Tehran, Iran, between 1971 and 1979. Attention is given to geographic, socioeconomic, psychological, and nutritional factors. It is found that "male births occurred more in Winter and Spring in the urban and rural areas, respectively. Female births occurred more in Fall in both urban and rural areas. Mean sex ratio was 108.20 in rural and 105.44 in urban areas." Reasons for the differentials between urban and rural areas are suggested.

"This paper examines two hypotheses formulated by Ravenstein relating to migration and distance: namely, that the volume of migration tends to decrease with the increase in distance and that at shorter distances females are more migratory than males, but at longer distances males are more migratory than females. Based on [Indian] census data, the author seeks to discuss these two issues with regard to rural to city migration in Kerala and West Bengal in a comparative manner.

"This paper deals with marriage patterns and family types as prevalent in a village in Bangladesh." Data are from a survey conducted in 1977-1978. Five major patterns are identified: the incidence of prepubertal or underage marriage is declining, the majority of marriages are monogamous, polygamy is more common among the higher income group, the villagers have extensive kinship and marriage relationships outside the village, and the nuclear family is the dominant family type. A correlation between landholding size and family type is also noted.
